Q11. Using the provisions of SFAS 115, if the securities are classified as trading securities the balance sheet value for the portfolio

A) $12,500, and record an unrealized loss of $1,500.
B) $12,500, and record no gains or losses.
C) $14,000, and record no gains or losses.
Correct answer is A)
The original portfolio cost was: $8,000 + $2,000 + $4,000 = $14,000
In 2005: $7,500 + $3,000 + $2,000 = $12,500
Thus we write the portfolio down by $1,500 and take an unrealized loss.
Q12. Using the provisions of SFAS 115, if the securities are classified as trading securities the balance sheet value for the portfolio

A) $16,500, and record an unrealized gain of $2,500.
B) $14,000, and record an unrealized gain of $2,500.
C) $16,500, and record an unrealized gain of $4,000.
Correct answer is C)
The original portfolio cost was: $8,000 + $2,000 + $4,000 = $14,000
In 2005 the value of the portfolio was: $7,500 + $3,000 + $2,000 = $12,500
In 2006 the value of the portfolio was: $8,500 + $3,500 + $4,500 = $16,500
We write the balance sheet value up to current value and recognize an unrealized gain of $4,000.
